[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards

Little used Wikiproject that serves no purpose, is a source of conflict and strife and is too bureaucratic South Philly 19:01, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Definite Keep. I have to laugh at this, frankly. Until yesterday, Southphilly was fighting tooth and nail to keep a bureaucratic hierarchy of editors including a coordinator, which you can read on the talkpage. Since I started editing there last week, another three users have joined it, we have revamped the main page, eliminated the bureaucracy, and are thinking about creating a weekly bulletin to inform users of the status of proposed awards. This project is dead by no means. This seems to me to be a rather bad faith nom from a user who was the source of said conflict and strife outraged at not getting his way in the face of about 15 people who opposed him.

  • keep - the bureaucratic elements are being removed and there is current on-going debate about the future of the project. If THAT fails, then is the time to delete this project. This seems to be a WP:POINT nomination as recent efforts from the above user to WP:OWN the project have been rebutted in great detail - both on the project talkpage and at AN/I. --Fredrick day 19:05, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep, bad faith nomination. --Deathphoenix ʕ 19:24, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - another user has just joined during the course of this MfD. How very dead and little used we are... Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 20:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep - nominator is reacting against huge consensus against his/her proposal to have a coordinator in said project, for it is widely believed that such bureaucracy is completely unnecessary. Honestly, this is getting way bizarre. Raystorm 20:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Great project, no good reasons to delete. -Mschel 21:19, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per Dev920, Fredrick day, Deathphoenix and Raystorm. Project was an awful mess, but recent efforts are making substantial improvements and seem to be salvaging the project. ~ Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 21:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This gives an idea where users are at in terms of service though some users have more edits than time (or vice versa) than others. Chris 22:56, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I think you're voting on the wrong MfD. In any case, if users want to show how many edits they have and how long they've been here, they can via a userbox. See my page, for example, where I have both. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:06, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy keep, per Deathphoenix. This is clearly a vengeance nominaton. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 01:35, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep At least until the project has a chance at funtioning with whatever new organization is put in place. --After Midnight 0001 01:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, although I'm a litte bit confused right now about what this project is about... still, if some editors want to use it a framework, who are we to gainsay them. Herostratus 02:58, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy keep. I am incredibly suspicious that someone fighting so strenuously about the project is now MfDing it. -Amarkov moo! 04:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Having !voted delete for the awards above, I do think this is a bad faith nomination for something that is a good idea. --Bduke 10:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
  • comment there were a number of calls to MFD this project, why is it retaliation because I decided to do it? South Philly 18:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Because those were threats to delete a project who insisted on forcing a coordinator on less than five active members, only two of which wanted a coordinator? Which, as I recall, was stopped when an administrator ordered you to stop forcing your views on everyone else. So where's these calls to delete now? I see none.
